Believing is not simply a passive understanding of the divine nature of God, faith isn’t a seed that grows in us without our thinking and moving towards Jesus who we can feel but is our unseen Savior, and prayer isn’t a mindless chant or babble that we do while sleepily lost in a trance. No. Believing is the active pursuit of seeing more clearly while truly understanding our God. Faith is purposefully living and walking towards an unseen spiritual destination and Jesus Christ. As for praying, it is a conversation with God; speaking, listening, and finally, trusting in a response from Him. All of these things require us to be active in our pursuit of the Lord, Jesus, and a righteous life. These activities are what we do as Christian’s while actively seeking God, and our Lord Jesus.
